Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ⅓ cup water
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• 3 large eggs
• cooking spray
• ¼ cup powdered sugar, or to taste
• ⅔ cup strawberry jelly

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 15 1/2x10 1/2x1-inch jelly roll pan with aluminum foil. Spray generously with cooking spray.

Step 2

Beat eggs in a small bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until very thick and lemon colored, about 5 minutes. Pour into a larger bowl and beat in sugar gradually. Beat in water and vanilla on low speed.

Step 3

Add flour, baking powder, and salt gradually, beating just until batter is smooth. Pour into the prepared pan.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes.

Step 5

Remove cake from the oven. Immediately loosen cake from the edges of the pan and invert onto a kitchen towel. Carefully remove aluminum foil and trim off any stiff edges if needed.

Step 6

Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar and carefully roll the hot cake and towel from the narrow end. Place on a wire rack and cool for at least 30 minutes.

Step 7

Beat jelly slightly with a fork to soften.

Step 8

Unroll cake and remove towel. Spread jelly over the cake. Roll cake, transfer to a serving platter, and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
